Sometimes the best shots are by accident (Dandylion and Web)

[Wilson]

Hi all, here's my first post so be easy on me.

Funny how it works, Both of these pictures where kind of a mistake. When I first got my camera I went on a road trip looking for something to shoot. I was going for the big landscape shot when I noticed this little guy sitting in the ditch. Out of a hudred or so pics I took that day this is my favorite.

This one I got this past week when I was on holidays in Jasper. I got up early to get some sunrise shots of Pyramid mountain. When I was setting up I notice this web in the trees covered in dew.

Those are great shots. I especially like the spider web in the trees. What equipment are you using?

What equipment are you using?

A Fuji S7000. I just got it a few weeks ago, It's the first camera I've had thats capable of anything more than snap shots. I'm still blown away by some of the shots I'm getting.

I could see why.

Be easy on you??? That would be no fun at all. Seriously though, those are some awesome photos you have there. I love the DOF on the first one, and the colors. The second one is a very unique shot that is well executed. Welcome!

Great shots That spider web looks great! Keep up the good work!

dont really like them. It's just a dandylion in the middle of the frame. And the spider photo is ok, you should wait for the sunset or something, or just wait for better lighting. I dont really like plain darkish lighting.

Was a flash used on the web? Awesome shots BTW.

Welcome to the site.

Nice shots, you seem to have a good eye for finding shots that other people might miss.

Nice to see someone else here representing Edmonton & area.

Those are so sharp!!! That first one is really nice, but it might make it a little better if you maybe got a slightly different perspective maybe...so it's not quite smack dab in the center of the frame. That's just my opinion, not that I have much room to talk, cuz I often center the subject without thinking about it myself! I'm trying to break the habit...anyway...good job!

Welcome to the forum, these are nice shots! I agree with Corry about the first one, I don't think that it should be right in the center, but otherwise, the DOF is great. I love the second one, it's awesome!!

:thumbsup: Keep it up!

those are realy great shots nice work!

t's just a dandylion in the middle of the frame

Personally I dont see why people are so bothered by having something framed in the middle...Sometimes I just look into the viewfinder and it seems right...especially in a macro.
